President Harrison’s Message Read by the Chilean Congress. OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. SACRIFIFICED FOR CHADOUINE. France Expels Journalist Marengo for At- tacking the Government of Turkey. Panus, Jan. 30.—France is no sooner out of ic serape than she is in another. she scrambled out of the position she —thoughilessly in by protesting against the exbulsion from Bulgaria. of 8 French nowspaper man, M. Chadouine, than sho expeis a Levantine journalist, M. Justin Marengo, from her territory in, apparently, the most outrageous manner, by order of the | ister of the interior, M. Constans. If the ac- count given of this affair by M. Marengo is cozrect the agents of M.Constans have acted in @ more high-handed mauner than did the agents cf M. Stambuloff. ‘M. Marengo bas appealed to M. de Freycinet, resident of the council, protesting against is expulsion from France and demanding that he be allowed to return. In his letter to the French premier M. Ma- rengo recalled the fact that it was through him that the Monitewr Oriental of Constantinople became a Franco-Russian organ and the sole controrersial exponent of French ideas against the hostility of the other powers. Through tho Moniteur Oriental M. Marengo, it would appear, fought against English ‘influence in tne cast. M. Marengo, it would also seem, for some reason or other, loft the staff of the’Monileur Oriental and came to this city, where he edited a paper which attacked Turkey and advocated forcing Abdul Hamid to renew the constitution of Midhad Pasha, and it is presumed he was expelled from France on demand of the sultan MM. Marengo is now petitioning to have t sentence of expu! lowed to return to France, and his request is being considered by the French government to the extent of consulting the wishes of the porte in the matter. This, in itself, is not a very serious matter, but the account M, Marengo gives of the man- ner in which he was expelled throws a very serious light upon the affair and, it is said, de- mands some explanation from the French gov- ernment. M. Marengo’s expuision took piace on January 9, but the facts in the case have only recently become public, ‘M. MARENGO’S STORY. The following is M. Marengo’s account of the affai ‘This is the story of my expulsion, which took place without the slightest previous warn- ing. On January 9, 1892, at 8 in the evening, two police officers appeared at my house, No. 54 Rue de La Victoire, and requested me to iy has unpleasant placed herself follow them to the district commis- sary of police, who had a ‘little communication to make to me.’ ‘Your bus- band will not be away more than a quarter of an hour at the most,’ they said to my wife, who wished to prevent me from going out, as I had been ill for a week. Arrived at the com- missary the secretary informed me on the part of his chief,M.Guenin,that I was to be ‘expelled’ as ‘a mau dangerous to the public peac When I protested the secretary contented him- self with replying that I should have time enough to make all necessary explanations to the prefect of police. The two officers above mentioned then took me to the prefecture with all the common prisoners arrested that morn- ing. _I was even hit violently to allow any arms which I might have about me to fall. I was then brutally shut up in a cold,wet cell. From that they took me to the measuring depart- ment, where, after being almost entirely un- dressed and made to stand on the cold floor in my bare feet. was forced to wait my turn to be examined, photographed, measured, &c. Finally, I was taken back to my cell, near Anas- tey's (the murderer of Baroness Dellard), said an officer. “Thence T was taken out again at about 5 o'clock in order to be put aboard the first train going toBelgium. At about 11 o'clock at night, when we reached Mons, the two detectives who accompanied me suddenly informed me (it was snowing) that I was free. This punishinent had lasted fifteen hours. I beg to call your attention, ir, that I was jast getting over an illness following an attack of influenza, which had kept me in bed, and that [ was not suitably dreesed for traveling in such severe cold weather without endangering my, life. I might have had to sleep in the open air at Mons had { not fortunately had by me a little money. As it was, indeed, on reaching Brussels I felt seriously ill, ard it is only to- day—a week after my expulsion—that I have been strong enough to draw up with difficulty this protest to inform you of the outrageous and inhuman proceedings, like the acts of an earlier age, employed in # country which only the other day made a great diplomatic stir about ‘the expulsion of M. Chadouine, correspondent of the Havas agency at Sofia, M. Chadouine was expelled violently and ilic- gally, 1 admit. But he was not so knocked about, so maltreated, as I. Moreover, he had been warned beforehand on several occasions. LIKE THE CHADOUINE AFFAIR. “As for me, I was simply carried off. I was not allowed an hour to see my wife again, to attend to my affairs, to provide myself with money or my papers, &c. And, again, there is no anology between the Chadouine case and mine. I repeat it, sir, I have never attacked France or any of her public men. I have been merely busy with eastern affairs—in particular with Turkish—which I know com- pletely. |The only plausible explanation that I we #0 far had of my caso is that my expul- sion wasaeked for by the sublime porte. It would seem that the sultan had demanded it as a sine qua non to forcing Bulgaria to grant some sort of satisfaction to France in the Chadouine affair. I rofuso to believe in this version, although it reaches me through several deputies who have kindly intervened for me with M. Constans. But even if this be true there was no necessity for maltreating me; it would have been enough to appeal to me per- sonally; I would willingly have sacrificed my- self for the dignity of France or its govern- ment.” — CHILE co: $$ TRANQUIL. President Harrison’s Message Heard by the Cougressmen Without Comment. Loxvoy, Jan. 30.—A dispatch to the Times from its correspondent at Santiago, published today, says that a short dispatch received yes- terday from Minister Montt in the chamber of depniies confirms the statements made to the effect that the crisis is ended. ‘The reading of this dispatch, according to the generally misinformed correspondent, caused but little comment.

Varranaiso (via Galveston), Jan. 90.—The United States’ acceptance of Chile's reply to the ultimatum has given great satisfaction here. Exchange has risen 1}¢ pence. Loxpox, Jan. 30.—The Spectator in the course of a long review of the American-Chilean question says that the tendency kere is to Chile is one of the woakest. demand, therefore, on the part of the Union which is couched in firm language is sure to look harsh and unfair, but admitting everything in regard tothe harshness the fact romains that the United States originally suffered a substantial injury, to'which no powerful civilized state could be expected to submit. “Suppose,” the Spectator asks, “that a bi of Englich blue jackets were brutally attack on the streets of Montevideo merely because they were Englishmen and -two or three of them were killed? Would there have beon much differonce of opinion in England as to whether Uruguay should be foreed to make tion?” ‘ven those facts the English people and the English government would certainly have refused to discuss | whether their min- ister conducted himself prop- erly or not or whether Uruguay bra nota legitimate grievance against England.” In conclusion the Speciator says that the inci- dent has killed Mr. Blaine’s policy of hegemony. guia ae LOOKING FOR THE WEBSTER. The Luckenbach Renews Her Search for the Missing Men. New Yonx, Jan. 30.—The tug Luckenbach, which brought in the scows of the Barney Dumping Company, is out in search of the other missing scow and tug boat Webster. She left the harbor yesterday, provisioned for a week, and will not return until the boats have either been found or all hopes of them have been given up. The fact that scow No. 17 was picked up after baving been buffeted about for more than forty-eight hours admits strong hopes that the remaining scow and tug boat will be saved. ‘ Commissioner Brennan belicves that the lives of the men on the Webster will yet be saved. BEQUEATHED TO THE TECKS. It is Said That Lord Tollemache Left Them a Fortune. Loxpox, Jan. 30.—A report is published to- day that Lord Tollemache, who died recently, bequeathed to the Duke and Duchess of Teck, the parents of Princess Victoria Mary-of Teck, the fiancee of the late Duke of Clarence and Avondale, the greator part of his fortune, amounting to nearly 000 a year. Lord Tollemache wasa neighbor of the duke and duchess: If this report is true the fortune will be a godsend to the Duke and Duchess of Teck. ‘They ure not blessed with a superabundance of this world’s goods. In fact, same years ago they were “sold up” by their creditors. At this time they occupied apartments in St. James Palace, but the queen was 80 annoyed by the fact that the creditors of the duke and duchess had invaded the palace precincts that they had to seek # residence elsewhere. Since that time they have lived quietly at the White Lodge in Richmond Park, on the Surrey side of the Thames, close to the historic town of Richmond. ——— COST OF THE OBIO. An Official of the Company Says the Govern- ment Will Have to Pay $45,000. Pumapexenia, Jan. 30.—The International Navigation Company has ordered Capt. Sargent, commander of the steamship Ohio, recently impressed by the U. 8. government, to hold himself in readmees to resume command of his ship. ‘The import of this order is that the guvern- ment has no immediate use for the ship since the Chilean trouble has subsided and she may be ordered back to Philadelphia at any mo- ment. = An official of the company said: “The gov- ernment took our best boat and our terms were specific.

Henry Clews’ “Weekly Financial Review” issued today says: The past week in Wall street has been one of irregular movements, the out- come of the “bear” raids of the previous week. The course of external happenings has favored the “bull” interest. Although all this amounts toan actual improvement in the speculative position, it has uot ct produced any large ad- vance in prices. The truth is that while oper- ators are convinced that values have a very sound and safe basis, yet they are under the control of a conservative feeling. There is no furore, no excessive sanguineness; and, in the absence of that specious kind ‘of support, holders prudently incline to take moderate profits and wait for reactions to buy in upon. So long as the situation is intrinsically a strong one, this is the most satisfactory and most profitable attitude to maintain, for it involves the minimum of risk and tends to prolong the maintenance of a healthy and active condition of the market. At the same time, the prolong- ation of such a situation tends toa steady growth of confidence, and that sort of gain leans an ultimate development of a more san- guine fecling, higher prices and speculative ex- citement, which seems to us to be an almost inevitable reeult at some later stage of the cam- prign. The main thing to be hoped is that this final phase may not come prematurely or m avy other way than through a gradual rise. One noticeable feature of the market is the absence of any definite expectations as to the future of the foreign markets for American securities, —_—_— Washington Stock Exchange.

Prevention of Destitution Not Considered, Says Tolstol, in Distributing Ald. Sr. Perersaune, Jan. 30.—In a letter to the government, Count Leo Tolstoi declares that the relief distribution of flour is inadequate in method to meet the needs of the situation, He says that there are three types of peasants. The firet of these is relatively well-to-do, having twelve acres of land and probably four horses, and those next in possessions, land and two horses. Over the second ciass—those with the two horses--the sword of famine is con- tinually suspended, and they must be helped to keep them from sinking to the level of the third und lowest class, whogare actually starving and for whom lack of assistance means death. The government is, however, only helping the low- ost class, assuming apparently that no aid should be given to those who havea remnant y left. Count Tolstoi thinks this Verge of abuclute want, should be provented from falling over the brink. eee Isaac 8, Tower of Kichmond Dead. Special Dispaich to The Evening Star.

HOUSE. The chaplain in his prayer this morning paid abigh and touching tribute to the public and private quahties of the late Leonidas C. Houk of Tennessee, who for so many years ably rep- resented his constituents in the lower house of the national legislature. REPORT ON JUDGE BOARMAN'S CASE. Mr. Oates (Ala.), from the committee on ju- diciary, reported the resolution referring to that committee the report, cl and evi- dence taken by the comunitise ta Use Fifty-Arsi Congress relativd to Aleck Boarman, judge of the western district of Louisiana, with instruc tions to fuily ifivestigate the same and report itedindinge and recommendations at any time. reed to. oe L) introduced a bill to regu- ferred. Lapham late fitheries. ‘MR. REED'S REQUEST OBJECTED TO. Mr. Reed (Me.) asked unanimous consont that during the day members desirous of introduc- ing bills might presont them to the Speaker and be referred by him,as was done during the Fitty-firet Congress, Mr, Btand (Mo.) objected, giving as bis rea- son that the Bpeaker did not regularly refer bills during the Fiftv-first Congress. ‘Mr. Reed hoped that the gentleman did not mean to insinuate that the present Spoaker would follow the evil example. Mr. Walker (Mays.) thereupon demanded the regular order, which was the consideration of the unfinished business—the proposed code of rules. The Speaker stated that the rules had not been called up, for the reason that there was a special order tor 1 o'clock. MR. CATCHINGS’ MOTION To PosTPONT. But Mr. Walker still insisted and Mr. Catch- ings (Aliss.) moved to postpone the considera- tion of the ruics until Monday. On this motion Mr. Buchanan (N. J.) raised the point of “no quorum,” but after some time consumed in taking the vote by tellers, Mr. Buchanan said that as it was evident that the party which hada two-thirds majority in t louse could not command a quorum, be would releut, and he withdrew the point. AN OBJECT LESSON. The motion was therefore declared carried, but thon Mr. Burrows (Mich.) came to the front with a motion to reconsider, which Mr. Springer moved to lay on the table. Again no ucrum voted, and that point was raised by ir. Burrows, who eaid that he wished to give the democrats an object lesson on what might be done under the proposed rules. ‘TRIBUTE TO THE LATE L. C. HOUK. Mr. Springer’s motion was agreed to—yeas, 182; nays, 27—and then, public businoss having been suspended, the House proceeded to pay its tribute of oie to the memory of the late Leonidas C. Houk of Tennessee. THEY STATE THEIR COMPLAINTS. Marines Who Are Dissatisfied Testify Before the Court of Inquiry. ‘The court of inquiry at the navy yard was continued today and the marines who stated yesterday that they would like to have an op- portunity of being heard before the court were given a hearing. The first witness was Private Humphrey, who in answer to questions by the court,stated that he had made complaint to Maj. Nicholson. He complained of the food and the matter had since been remedied. He spoke particularly of the coffee, which was not sweetened, and of the stew, which was not properls cooked. He srid he bad no complaint to make at the present time. When asked why, if he had ground for com- aint, he did not come to the commanding of- icer, he said that he was afraid be would be in disfavor. the Brooklyn barracks three years ago there was acomplaint on a similar matter and the majority of the men who made the complaints ‘were sent to sea. apt. Meade asked him if be had grounds for believing that if he had made known hisalleged grievances they would not have been looked into, and be answered that he believed she mat- ter would have been attended to. Private David Rorison testified that prior to the Nicholson investigation the rations were rather small. ‘he principal complaint was as to the bean soup and the baked beans, ‘The former was more like dish water to hi taste, and the beans were insufficiont in qui iy.’ He did not make @ complaint to Capt. Meade, he said, because he did not wish to be regarded as akicker. He bad no doubt that if | he had gone to Capt. Meade the matter would havo been attended to. In answer to a ques- tion why he made o complaint at the present time, he said, that there wns a piece ut in a paper by Private King, and it was for is ake bo was testifying now, He supposed that what was in the paper was true and he did not think Private King ought to be locked up. He said he had not had any other opportunity to complain than the one given yesterday. He was on guard duty and was not pres- ent in No.8 room last night when Sergt. Daily ond Privates Burton, Hatton and King were holding a mveting. He sad thathe had never had any grievances to make to Capt. Meade but that requests und favors had been granted him. Privates Charles Masche and Wm. M. West, two young marines, were also placed upon the stand, but their testimony developed nothing sensational or particularly interesting. ze <. dase DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THE ECKINGTON RAILROAD BILL. ‘The Commissioners today forwarded to Gon- gress thoir report of the bill to amend the char- ter of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home rail- road. They state tho objection raised at the hearing and recommend that when- ever more tracks of that railroad company shall be constructed on any of the streeta, avenues or other public highways of the District the width of the space beiwcen the tracks shall not exceed four feet. THE ANACOSTIA RAILROAD. The Commissioners have sent to Congress their report upon House bill 2786 to amend the act giving th ‘approval and sanction of Con- gress to the route and termini of the Ana- costia and Potomac River railroad. They recommend that the bill be amended by substituting for the route named in the bill the following: “From the intersection of its tracks on 6th street with B street north, along 6th street to Louisiana avenue, along Louisiana avenue to 5th strectnorth,along Sthstreetnorth to F street north, along ‘street north to 1th street west, along 11th street west to B strect north, along B street north to the tracks on B streot north near Center market.

In his report sent to Congress today United States Patent Commissioner W. E. Simonds says: “The most pressing and urgent need of the patent oftice is more room. Every division Of the office needs itand calls for it daily. week to week ingenuity is taxed to the to find space wherein to dispose the printed copies of the patents as they are issued. are some of more than $60,000, and more than 600,000 other copies are selected each year for the use of the examiners and the various departments of government. They are now disposed in separate and disconnected parcels upon five different doors, partly under stair- and in ever sort of an out-of- the-way place tliat @ great building can furnish. The selection of two copies which stand next to each other serially not rarely | takes the person who is selecting them from the lowest of these five floors to the highest and from one extremity of the bailding to the other. Where these weekly issues of copies are | to be put in the near future no one at present can possibly tell, ‘As regards rs, the need | rooms occupied by the ex- ut.

The heatir is in others by hot-air reg: by stoves. Itis the rule rather than the ex- ception in these rooms that the floor space is so occupied by desks and cases | for papers that the occupants move about in them through tortuous lanes.

This m unsafe ad unsightly. ‘This state of affairs not only puts unnecessary | discomfort upon the examiners, but it also un- favorably effects their health aud, to a degree that is more than noticeable, prevents them from doing work to their {ull capacity. MORE FORCE NEEDED. “The experience of the last few months shows that the present examining corps may possibly be able to keep the work from falling behind to a greater degree than it is at present, although that is by no meaus «ure. fh is certain that a substantial addition ought to bo made to the examining corps and the cicrical force of the patent office, not ouly to bring the work of examining applications for pat- ents up to date and readily keep it there, but also to provide for the needs of the immediate future. At the close of the fers and in etill others 476,271 patents, constituting a vast field, some particular line’ in which has to be explored from first to last in connection with every one of the 40,000 applications for patents which are made each year. Twenty-five thousand new patents are ‘added to this field ot exploration yearly. "There are thirty-two examining ¢ ions in the office and I recommend that oue examiner, of the rank of fourth assistant, be added to each of these divisions for the pur- poses pointed out. IMPORTANCE OF THE OFFICE WORK. It is believed that the patent system and the patent office deserves generous treatment Congress, and that it is of the highest im- portance to the material interests of the whole country that the office should have the com- pletest facilities for tee transaction of the public business intrusted to it. The patent office stands in close touch with the vast business interests of the country. ‘The vast majority of our great manufactur- | ing industries were originally based upon in- | ventions recorded in the United States patent | office. The patent law does not exist forthe | benefit of inventors. Itexists for the benefit of the public. The which the progress of usefal arts bas been promoted in America by wise patent laws ought tobe clear to the dullest comprehension. DESIRED LEGISLATION. The following amendments to the patent law and the trade-mark law are recommended: ‘That no improvement shall be patentable which has been for more than two years before application for patent thereon disclosed 1m any patent or printed publication issued in this country. ‘TLat a patent shall not expire with the ox- iration of a prior foreign patent for the same invention. That an applicant shall be compelled to take action upon his application at least once in every six months, in licu of once in two years, as at present; and that a patentshall in no case live for more than twenty years from the date of the first application therefor. ‘That patent licenses shall be required to be recorded the same as assignments and grants. ‘That aliens shall be put upon the same foot- ing as citizens as to the fling of caveats. ‘That interference contests in the patent office shall be abolished and relegated to the courts. ‘That an amendment of the patent law shall require a fee of £10 for every appeal or peti- tion taken froma primary examiner dircctly to the commissioner of patents. That no damezes or profits shall be recov- ered in a suite for infringement, except such as accrue within the six years last preceding the bringing of the suit. That courts of equitable jurisdiction shall have power to pass title to letters patent in a proper case without any action on the part of the defendant. That the commissioner of patents ehall be permitted by law to refund to the payer money paid into the patent office by mistake. That an amendment to the trade mark law shall be made permitting registry of trado marks which are used in commerce between the states. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. The commissioner goes on to ey: The need of a laboratory for the patent office has been specified in former annual reports; that need continues and grows. An increase of the salary Of the assistant commissioner and of the salaries of the examiners-in-chief, the principal ex- aminers and_ the assistant examiners has been recommended in former annual reports; euch increase is recommended. bridge across Rock creck at M street north- west.” It authorizes the Commissioners to cause to i flit i u i act a3 More than 690,000 of these printed copies | sold each year, bringing in an ine} utive | calendar year 1391 the patent oflice had ixsued | The board of lady managers of the Washing- ton City Orphan Asylum beld the seventy fourth annual at the ney- Jom, 1789 14th street. the vari- inetitetion was in a condition. ‘There are some 185 children im the asylum. —_ Range of the ihermometer.
